Recommendation

All good things come to an end. Ashton has recommended that its shareholders accept De Beers' offer of $2.28 in cash. De Beers still need to get 50.1% for the offer to go unconditional and for Ashton shareholders to receive a special dividend of 20 cents. But, with Ashton's board providing its stamp of approval, a higher bid is unlikely and the 50.1% mark should be easily passed. ACCEPT OFFER.
